ADJUSTABLE TABLE.

Specification of Letters Patent. Application filed June 13, 1912. Serial No. 703,416.

Patented Dee.30, 1913.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, MARY L. LEONARD, a citizen of theUnited States of America, residin at Albany, in the county of Albany and tate of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Adjustable Tables, of which the following is a the mechanism illustrated in the accompany- I ing drawing, in which:

Figure 1 isaperspective view of an automobile seat showing my table in place. Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the underside of the table with its connections.

Similar letters refer to similar parts throughout the several views.

My table is composed of two leaves, A and B, joined by suitable hinges, C. I also place near the adjoining edges of the leaves'a hinged support, D, which may be folded between the leaves when the table is not in use. At one end of each leaf, at each end of the table therefor, when the leaves are extended, I place the adjustable brackets, E, E, adapted to rest u on and engage the side of the arms, F, of t e sealt, G, as shown in Fig. 1. Each bracket is composed of a single piece of wire curved and bent upon itself, forming two parallel portions, (1, b, separated from each other and passmg through suitable keepers, d, d, the keepers being secured to the underside of the table leaves, A and B, res ectively, near the ends thereof. The curve end of each bracket is bent at about right angles to the parallel portions, a, b, forming the projecting part, 9, g, which engages the side of the arms, F, when in use.

The brackets, E, B, may be drawn out so as to enable the table to be used on an automobile which is wider than the length of the table when the leaves are'extended, or the brackets may be pushed in so that they will not extend beyond'the table. By curving the ends of the brackets in the manner shown when the two leaves of the table are folded together, the end of one bracket will pass beneath the end of the other and pro-. ject into and through the parallel portions, a, b, enabling'the two leavesto be brought very close together.

What I claim as my invention and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:

A table adapted for use in an automobile, comprising two leaves; suitable hinges connecting the leaves; means for supportin the leaves at or near their point of union, a apted to prevent the leaves from movement on the hinges; a supporting bracket on the end of each leaf adapted to rest upon and engage the side arms of the seat of an automobile, each bracket composed of a single piece of wire curved and bent upon itself, forming two parallel portions separated from each other, the curved end bent at about right angles to the parallel portions forming a projecting part which engages the side of the seat; and means at the end of each leaf for receiving and adjustably holding the parallel portions of said bracket, substantially as described.

In testimony whereof I have afiixed my signature in presence of twowitnesses.
